"Often, it feels as if there are no more than two musicians on a given track, a claim that is occasionally true but this speaks more to the intimacy of Watt and his handful of collaborators, usually producer Ewan Pearson and guitarist Bernard Butler, than it does to the actual arrangements. David Gilmour comes in to color "The Levels" and he manages not to overwhelm and even surprises, avoiding textures and phrases that have become signatures, functioning as a painter, not a featured artist".

"These songs have all the pretty chords and decorum you'd expect from Watt, best known as one half (with his wife, Tracey Thorn) of Everything But the Girl. Watt's other life as a DJ and club promoter are alluded to in Young Man's Game, a hymn to middle-aged doubt. "I'm not as good as I used to be", he begins. But he is".
